Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated phosphorylation of cardiac myofilament (MF) proteins has been shown to depress the actomyosin interaction and may be important during heart failure. Biochemical studies indicate that phosphorylation of Ser(43) and Ser(45) of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) plays a substantial role in the PKC-mediated depression. We studied intact and detergent-extracted papillary muscles from...
